December 5-6, 2017

December 5-6, 2017
We have had a full and busy week so far.
Tuesday we had 7 ENT cases and 3 orthopedic surgical cases at Cure, our audiology team saw 33 new students at the School for the Deaf and did evaluations on their hearing.  On Wednesday, the Cure ENT team did 5 complex surgical cases, several orthopedic cases, and 2 of our surgeons went to a local Government hospital to assist the Ethiopian ENT surgeons with 4 surgical cases.  The audiology team continued evaluations at the School for the Deaf.
We completed our 3 day intensive review course in Pediatric Anesthesia for 21 anesthesia providers on Wednesday.  This course was designed specifically for low-income countries and is a superb refresher course.  We had 6 instructors and students of various levels of training.  It was enthusiastically received.
Thursday we will have surgical cases at Cure, follow up clinic at Cure, and educational session for the Ethiopian ENT residents, and a training for new instructors for our Pediatric Anesthesia course. 

We have had a chance to re-connect with old friends, make new friends and plan for future educational and clinical activities.
